What’s the first thing Pope does to get this program back on track?

[BleedBlue_22]

1) clean house (keep Moreno and Chandler)
2) go get talent like Calipari used to get

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Get fired.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

Unfortunately I don’t see him getting this program back on track. He probably is what he’s been for his entire coaching career and that’s an average coach who doesn’t get top talent and belongs at a lower tier school. Pains me to say that but we are a long way from being an elite program right now.

 

[Johnny_Jeepers]

Has a mental breakdown and checks himself into a looney bin.

 

[Cats4321]

Resign is the best answer. I wanted this to work, but he just isn't a good coach. His record here and his previous jobs prove that.

 

[Woodrow24]

He needs to be fired just like Mitch should have been.

 

[TotheMoon88]

Only thing he can do is leave

 

[SBKY]

Quit

 

[coalBucket]

Leave. Yeah what everyone else said.

 

[AllBall]

Retire

 

[OldScratchBlues]

Resign.

 

[CELTICAT]

Resign or make good on his earlier suicide threat

Why? If those dudes are getting anything more than garbage time minutes your team is bad.

 

[CoffeeCat]

Needs a raise and extension for more motivation

 

[UKGrad24]

He never had it on track. There’s nothing he can do except turn into someone he’s never been. I don’t understand what it is people don’t understand.

 

[Skyguyb27]

In before someone says resign.

 

[KyLegacyBBN]

resign

End of thread. Next question?

 

[UKWildcats1987]

1) clean house (keep Moreno and Chandler)
2) go get talent like Calipari used to get

Lmao u people think recruiting is that easy? Pope can't recruit

 

[Farsight Clone]

I think it's time for Pope to take a long Mormon Mission away from UK

 

[AJG-15]

Resign and apologize!

 

[Big BlueBeard]

LEAVE!

 

[Drogon]

Quit

Stupid question. If he cares about the program, he resigns.

 

[Madhuvan]

Pope can’t fix this. Stevie Wonder could see that.

 

[MegaBlue05]

I don’t see much. I hope I am wrong and Pope and staff surprises the hell out of me in recruiting and building next year’s team.

As it stands now, I feel like if next year is the same or worse than this one, the new AD will “ part ways” with Pope. I don’t think it’s happening after this season.

I so badly want Mark to succeed here, but right now it’s not looking like he’s the guy. Next year is huge.

 

[katwest]

Moreno was never the same after someone dotted his eye, played passive and timid after that.

Get the F out! Thank you for your service on the 1996 team, but you should not be the head coach at Kentucky!

 

[Randy Bob]

The best thing for Ky is for Pope to just step down.

 

[Hunting9]

Quit today.

 

[MegaBlue05]

Stupid question. If he cares about the program, he resigns.

I care about the program too, but not enough to just walk away from millions of dollars. Only a fool would do that.

We’re going to have to fire him or “part ways”
if we want to make it sound nice.

He's not average. He's a poor coach. Worst I've ever seen.

 

[Seth_C]

I’m going to be completely honest with you — he doesn’t. Next season goes about the same as this one and then we move on from Pope.

Take his hind parts away from the UK Athletics premises
